The 24-year-old also commented on his recent club move to German side Borussia Dortmund, as well as the recent death of Napoli fan Ciro Esposito.

“Going to Germany was the right choice, because I am looking to improve and have new experiences.

“It will do me good to go abroad.

“They told us about the death of Esposito shortly before the match against Uruguay. It is news that saddened us and that is unpleasant.”
